I would prefer when you would call cancel_work_sync when metric stuff should 
be stopped. I was expecting to see this somewhere around 
batadv_v_elp_iface_disable after the cancel_work_sync but it seems like it is 
missing there (or in a similar place)

 void batadv_v_elp_iface_disable(struct batadv_hard_iface *hard_iface)
 {
 	cancel_delayed_work_sync(&hard_iface->bat_v.elp_wq);
+	cancel_work_sync(&hard_iface->bat_v.metric_work);
 
 	dev_kfree_skb(hard_iface->bat_v.elp_skb);
 	hard_iface->bat_v.elp_skb = NULL;
 }


The Fixes line for this patch would be:

Fixes: 5c3245172c01 ("batman-adv: ELP - compute the metric based on the estimated throughput")

Kind regards,
